We do not sell 

 the cheapest 

 seeds, but make LOWEST PRICES 

 consistent with quality. They will 

 please you. 



Notice ''''^ greatest care is taken to supply every 

 ' • article true to name and of tlie very best 



quality ; at the same time it is mutually understood 

 that we do not warrant our seeds, and that we are not 

 in any respect responsible for any loss or damage 

 arising from any failure thereof.

SEEDS TRUE 

 TO NAME. 



The first consideration of the Farmer or 

 Gardener in purchasing is whether he will 

 Secure Seeds True to Name. Our ex- 

 acting care in the selection of Seed Stocks, and 

 having grown nothing but the Best, should 

 be sufficient assurance that our Seeds Are 

 True to ]Vame. 



Tested Seeds. 



The germination of Seeds is the next 

 consideration ; therefore the Planter will ap- 

 preciate the fact when we tell him that our 

 Seeds are all thoroughly tested, and un- 

 less they germinate or sprout satisfactorily 

 are discarded. 



New Seeds 

 Tested. 



Although Seeds may be new and fresh, yet 

 they Should Be Tested Thoroughly, as 



there is freqently a certain percentage 

 Blighted or Unripe ; consequently cur 

 system of always Testing Seeds before 

 placing them on the market protects the 

 customer from possible loss.
